UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. Why am I not surprised.

  2. Typical, it’s always someone else’s fault. Revenge is not just best served cold, but by stupid too. “This is all your fault!” Which is wrong, but in his head, it’s right.

    1. It’s also been heavily hinted he has already been brain washed by the zombie worshiping cult.

      1. Which, no doubt, made easier because of that under-lying feeling. People are always looking for a scape-goat…

    2. I don’t know if you got my callback by intent or not, but it’s great to see almost the same words echoed! https://www.zombieranchcomic.com/comic/203-breaking-worst/

  3. Honestly, probably the first time he’s ever taken control of and done ever in his life. There’s a reason why they kept him. Give a dog that’s been beat all its life a whiff of conference and control, you got a problem.

  4. Imagine his surprise when he stabs a pillow. 😜

  5. He isn’t in control, RC – he’s probably drugged to the very dilated eyeballs, probably with Datura. Back on p.443, Eustace is shown holding a Mojave Rattlesnake on a stick while the Brujefe milks it into a glass. Mojave venom A is a paralytic neurotoxin, like tetrodotoxin. Tetrodotoxin was thought to be part of the legendary Haitian “zombie powder”. The other part was Datura, which contains scopalamine, which messes with memory and concentration, and is supposed to render victims docile and suggestible.
    The question is, where did he get his current dose, and did a little drone whisper in his ear?

539 – A Knife In The Dark (END OF EPISODE 22)

Happy Holidays, all! That's a wrap (heh) for Episode 22 just in time for a Christmas cliffhanger! Hope we don't twist the knife too much...

See y'all in 2025 when Zombie Ranch continues!

A musical interlude

So, a few weeks ago the Zombie Ranch theme song popped into my skull. A theme song for a webcomic? Preposterous, you say! And yet, this webcomic is in part about a TV show, and TV shows have theme songs. What could be better than some country-twanged gentleman regaling the Safe Zone audiences about the romance and danger of the occupation they’re about to witness? Now I can (allegedly) write, and even do a bit of singing, but I sure can’t play guitar much. Fortunately, I happen to have friends who can sing, play, and have access to a recording studio. So after confirming they’d be interested in bringing the song to life (unlife?), I typed up the lyrics and made a recording of me warbling out a preliminary melody, and sent them off with a few “mood” guidelines. You can tell when your partners are excited about a project, because they got this done in just a couple of weeks, and what they came up with is fantastic. I expected maybe one of them strumming a guitar and singing, and instead got a recording worthy of Nashville. You better believe I’m going to permalink it somewhere on the site, as soon as we figure out where to put it. For now, we’ve linked it as this week’s “comic”, so go there and have a listen if you haven’t already! Zombie Ranch Theme Song By the by, Seth and Justin have a band called Southern Oracle that tours the Los Angeles area. If you’re interested, join up on their Facebook page and find out when you can catch a concert! Southern Oracle isn’t really a Country-Western group, but that just goes to show how talented they are at exploring all sorts of music. They love what they do, and it shows.
